unexpected things

It’s Kinsale Arts Festival this week, and there are lovely things to be seen around the place. And when I say around the place, I really mean it – some local artists have pieces displayed in the windows and shelves of local businesses. You can find this beautiful creature, made by Ryan’s sister Kate, in Barrett Butcher shop – as well as a few other pieces. You can pick up a map at the box office which will tell you where to look, but I kind of think it’d be more fun to go around and see if you can spot them on your own :)

I had a fab time when I was down a few weeks ago shooting Kate’s creations, and I was particular fond of this sturdy horse with lovely little details. And I wished again that I was a tea drinker, because teapots are great. Look!

It’s got pom poms! And then there’s this one with wee people on top:

I love seeing what’s new every time we visit :)

Now we’re off to Cork for the weekend and might even get a chance to get out to Kinsale for ourselves. Here’s hoping for a bit of sunshine…
